Raw photo editor with powerful noise reduction and lens corrections.
DxO PhotoLab is a RAW photo editor for Windows and macOS built on lab-measured camera and lens profiles. Its DxO Modules correct distortion, vignetting, chromatic aberration, and lens softness automatically for your exact camera and lens combination, and its DeepPRIME noise reduction cleans up high-ISO files while recovering fine detail. Local adjustments use U Point control points and AI Masks, including depth masks and person selection, so you can target part of an image without complex selections.

- DxO Modules with lab-measured camera and lens corrections
- AI Masks with depth masks and person selection

How it works
The pricing is a one-time purchase, not a subscription: Essential at $159.99 and Elite at $249.99, each a perpetual licence for that version. Elite adds DeepPRIME XD, the strongest denoising model, plus Fujifilm X-Trans RAW support and activation on three computers instead of two. A fully featured 30-day free trial is available, but there is no permanent free plan, and major version upgrades are paid separately.
DxO PhotoLab is a strong choice for photographers who care most about image quality, especially those shooting in low light or with long lenses. It will not replace Lightroom for cataloguing or cloud workflows, but for turning noisy RAW files into clean, sharp images with minimal manual correction, it is one of the best editors in this directory.
